Headline: The Internet is the completion of the Information Age.

Nutshell: It will all be about Information-> Knowledge and ultimately-> INTELLIGENCE!

Vision: We are now in the Knowledge Age. Our time in the Knowledge Age will be short-lived, as "knowledge without action is worthless." Hence we will rapidly progress into the Intelligence Age.

The key to understanding the future of the the internet is by understanding Information, knowledge and intelligence. And some of the answers can be found by understanding the difference in the value of information, knowledge and intelligence.

This will remain true as long as we live in a market economy!
